Welcome to my blog! You can call me Morpho, he/they/any. I mainly write fics for Six of Crows, X-Men, and Dimension 20, but have a variety of other fandoms I’ll write for on occasion. I mainly write m/m but I also write f/f on occasion! All my writing is sfw.
The pills meme but it's things i wish i had
I totally sympathize with being angry about an adaptation of something you care a lot about but the way people on here criticize the odyssey movie for not being historically accurate is so fucking obnoxious lmfao. Sometimes the point is not accuracy. Sometimes an artist has ideas they want to explore so they choose a pre-established story as a conduit to express those ideas through. Sometimes the anachronisms are the point, and trying to understand why certain choices were made is 10x more interesting than going “thing wrong so thing bad >:[“
Like you can absolutely disagree with what themes do come through, but holy fuck you guys. You are not the perfect bastions of media literacy you think you are just because you can cinema sins point out every little flaw.
The problem is that the point WAS historical accuracy. Nolan claimed as much multiple times. He claimed it to be the most historically accurate retelling of the story put to screen and that it was one of, if not the, main focus of the film’s creation.
Just a bunch of kids btw
realised i never posted my ratgrinders photocards here </3 i feel many things about them
whos still thinking about durdawn - just me? hello?
🏳️🌈 kofi link in bio if you’re feeling generous 🏳️🌈
if i met a genie and fixed the world and all its ills with my first two wishes, my third wish would be that sabrina carpenter would get gradually taller. she'd be in on it and think it was hilarious. we'd have a strong cap at 7 feet here, maybe an inch a week so people have time to theorize--let's not be ridiculous. but she'd still keep up the "ooh! im so little and small!" schtick. but shed be gradually getting taller. she'd be like 6'1" and still jumping for the microphone. and she'd never say anything about it. and if anyone asked shed act like she had no idea what they were talking about. and shed cheekily play into it a little bit but mostly still keep up the "ooh im so little and small" schtick. do you see my vision. do you get it
ok and so if i met a genie and fixed the world and all its ills in one wish i would do the sabrina carpenter thing second and third i would wish for all evidence of one random taylor swift song to disappear from the world once every month or so. taylor would have no memory of it. her fans would remember it and there would be an outcry over where it went (it's not even in concert videos anymore!) but taylor would have no memory of it
instead, all her brainspace spent on that song would be replaced with the vivid memories of roman gladiator, taylaurius velox. she's able to hide this at first, but her music begins to take on a gradually romaner and romaner tint. at first, people are like "damn, she's getting REALLY conservative, huh" and other people are like "wow, she's so deep, she knows what a rubicon is" but eventually travis kelce leaves her out of nowhere (he wasn't sure if dating someone possessed by a roman gladiator made him gay or not and anyway he was getting sick of being like "we're going to play the lions" and taylor being like "LIONS? WHERE?") and taylor publishes an entire brutus themed album about this betrayal and it's beginning to weird people out
and so eventually travis kelce is getting like, bomb threats sent to his family for leaving taylor and eventually he's like "okay, okay, i left her because she kept having all these vivid nightmares of gladatorial combat and she kept saying that football was giving her the ick because we never actually killed anybody for the glory of rome" and then he just gets more bomb threats because he left a struggling woman during a mental health crisis
and eventually taylor is writing music about her forbidden roman senator lover and her fanbase is either whittled WAY down or WAY up because people want to watch this trainwreck happen (or maybe she influences culture so hard that we're just all really into rome now) but she's being super cagey about the name of this roman senator. until. and now here's the twist:
weird al has been getting all of the same vivid memories of taylaurius velox. and he still has all his memories of her old songs. so he's writing all these detailed song parodies of taylor swift songs that don't exist anymore including specific details about their shared gladiatorial reality that taylor has never shared with anybody else. including that her lover's name was publius, and she's been calling him Poob for short
at this point a lot of original swifties are leaving. they could do the brutus stuff, but they really can't survive poob. taylor makes a clapping back at the haters song including the lyric "these bitches don't know publius" and it ends up all over all sorts of merch. there's a renewed archaeological interest in roman gladatorial combat
most importantly, the internet discourse is the best it's ever been. does this make taylor swift transmasc? is travis kelce problematic for leaving his fiancee while she gradually morphs into a roman gladiator? is this good queer representation? if taylaurius velox was a gay man, does that mean the gaylors were technically correct? is weird al morally wrong for capitalizing off of her music if she cant remember it anymore? was weird al sent by god to torment taylor swift?
anyway thats what id do if i met a genie
So, someone in a comment section on TikTok asked me to breakdown why I thought the six colored flowers in Deltarune represent the six colored humans in Undertale. But, well…it may have gotten long enough that I would have had to send it in like twelve different comments, and I didn’t want to spam anybody. So I made it a Tumblr post! Note, I did not reread these so there might be some typos.
First is Aqua, who is deeply impatient but constantly striving to find something to hold her attention. She is mischievous and disobedient, but never purposefully so, always genuinely trying to help and listen to those around her. The Aqua child in Undertale is noted to carry around dyed red ribbons and a plastic knife, which can be found scattered in the Ruins. Putting these together, we get a picture of a very young child (which explains the toddler shoes and toys in Toriel’s home), one that was constantly searching for something stimulating enough to hold her attention. That and her mischievous nature are both common results of neglect in young children, so it’s likely her parents were as attentive as she is. Especially given that her ribbon talks about “looking cuter so you aren’t hit as hard” Aqua having bad parents is very likely, and probably why she assumes violence to be the correct answer to most situations. Perhaps she went up the mountain out of curiosity when her parents weren’t caring enough to watch her. What’s clear though is that she was taken in by Toriel, got bored and went exploring, and either lost her stuff or died nearby (hence why her stuff is only a few rooms away from Toriel’s home). If she survived her own curiosity, I doubt she made it past Snowdin Forest before being captured. And as she is the first to confront Asgore in the Flower Castle climb, she may have been the first to be captured/killed and brought to him in Undertale.
The next to confront Asgore in Flower Castle is Yellow, followed by Blue, so I’ll cover them next. Yellow, Blue, Green, and Seth could all be read as adults by some, but I would argue that there is a lot showing that they’re all just kids striving to be older than they really are. That said, Yellow and Blue are likely the oldest amongst them, and I would guess they fell as young teenagers, supported by the mention of shoes for older kids and teenagers. Yellow in Deltarune is shown to have a childish understanding of what a cowboy is and a need for justice, coupled with being exceedingly naive and extremely self-flagellating. Given his constant jumping to suicide as a response to any perceived wrongdoing on his part, it’s likely that he went to Mt Ebbott on purpose, attempting to die. We know that he made it as far as Waterfall’s trash zone, though it’s unclear if that’s where he was captured or if he simply lost/threw away his items. My guess is that he threw them away after losing Blue, deciding he wasn’t worthy to be a cowboy, and then…well…given his behavior and the fact that Trash Zone is heavily associated with suicide in Undertale…I don’t think he needed to be killed by the Royal Guard.
As for Blue, we get the least screentime from him so it’s a bit harder to tell, but he seems to be a bit of a liar with a well meaning heart. He also has this false maturity to him that I wouldn’t doubt came from adultification. Given that he’s a queer, gender-nonconforming man who’s whole thing is living your inner truth (even if he struggles with that himself), perhaps a queerphobic/misogynistic family was what pushed him to Mt Ebott. Either way, he fell into the Underground (perhaps with Yellow, perhaps instead just meeting him while living with Toriel), and made it to Waterfall. His tutu can be found earlier on, be described as “protective” and “dusty”, which might imply he had to kill a monster to protect Yellow. Perhaps this sparked the Royal Guard to chase him more fervently, explained why the unused echo flower that was meant to spawn in the same room as his shoes says “I can’t run anymore…somebody, anybody…”. Perhaps he died or was captured here, leaving Yellow to survived for a few more rooms before succumbing to himself.
Next on the Asgore order is Green, by far our hardest nut to crack because they don’t speak. Green seems to strive to be kind but instead ends up as just nice, struggling to actually comfort anybody and consistently betraying their friends by helping the Fun Gang. The need to please outweighs the need to do right by people, sounds like a fellow people pleaser to me. Their items seem to indicate they made it the farthest of anyone but Chara and Frisk, dying/getting captured in Hotland, which makes sense given how effective pacifism is in the Underground. Their items only have mechanics in their description, but one of them is called the “Burnt Pan” which is generally something pans are designed not to do, so their defeat being at the hands of a fire enemy seems likely. Other than that, not much to glean.
Orange is next, and is very clearly a “are you a man or a mouse” joke. I already went into her deal, but to reiterate, she’s got a whole thing about pretending to be bigger than she is because she’s scared of being weak. Her items are pink gloves (hence her friendship with Pink) and the “Manly Bandana” which has abs drawn on it, all an attempt to seem manly and scary when she’s not. Her items can be found in Snowdin, meaning her weakness likely got the better of her. One thing to note, though, is that she’s the only flower to refer to the others as siblings (specifically Pink, Flowery, and Green). Given that Pink is a monster that we meet in Undertale and Flowery has his own stuff going on, it’s entirely possible she went up the mountain searching for her sibling, Green. That’s getting into fanfiction territory, but I thought it was a neat idea.
Seth probably gets the most characterization in both games. Seth is, as Deltarune puts it, someone who “only has the perseverance for study”. They are desperate to be taken seriously by those around them and fail miserably at it, and aren’t able to get through much of anything without having a breakdown. They also have a habit of idolizing people. They are also the only one to get a name meaning Seth is likely their Undertale name too. They chose it themselves in Deltarune, and with the break scene about their gender identity I think it’s likely they chose it in Undertale. Their items don’t give us much other than that their handwriting is illegible, but the location of their items seems to indicate Gerson is the only who caught/killed them.
The Asgore climb order clearly means something (going Aqua, Yellow, Blue, Green, Orange, then Seth) but doesn’t tell us much, so I’m guessing it’s the death order. But given its implied Blue got killed first and that Seth got killed by Gerson (who hasn’t been a Royal Guard in a long time) it might be the reverse order. In fact, there’s one more piece of evidence for that. At the end of the climb you see a conversation between Asgore and Flowery.
Which is why I think Flowery might represent Chara a bit. This is going into wild speculation territory so bear with me here. Flowery and Chara are both characters with heavy, heavy ties to golden flowers, Asgore’s happy memories, and the number 999. Both are characters with notable habits of coping with distress and their loved one’s distress by smiling. Both have heavy emphasis on the color of their eyes, both are willing to die for the cause, both believe the surface world is full of cruel people who they need to protect their family from, both are willing to risk potential disaster in order to give their families the world they deserve, both have the ability to affect the narration of the game, and both have some amount of fourth wall breaking power. If Flowery IS meant to represent Chara is some way, that could tell us a lot about their behavior when they were alive. As for who represents Frisk…
The obvious and most definitely correct answer is Kris. Identical faces, near anagram names, matching color schemes (in the Dark World anyhow), being the protagonist, it’s incredibly clear. But what if, and this is definitely a crackpot theory, it’s Ralsei? My main evidence is the strange parallels between Flowery and Ralsei and how their weirdly echo that of Chara and Frisk. There’s also the mistaken identity beat with both Frisk and Ralsei, funnily enough both connected to Asriel (albeit in different ways). But the main evidence is entirely on the hypotheticals of certain theories on Ralsei’s light world form being confirmed, hence why I said this part of the analysis is complete crackpot bullshit, so please take it with a grain of salt. The two prevailing theories for what he is are the Red Headband/Kris’ Ideal Form, which would tie him to Kris and therefore to Frisk, or a red flower. There’s a lot to get into regarding the Ralsei Is A Plant Theory and others could explain it better, but trust me, there’s a lot of could textual and narrative evidence. But if he’s a flower and the flowers represent humans, him being the notably absent red flower would mean that he ties into the one human unaccounted for. I don’t know, just a thought.
Anyways, please only take the six colored flowers seriously, Flowery and especially Ralsei are way more speculative and were just for fun. Thanks for reading!!
Is this anything.
Alright, Chapter 5 is barely 24 hours old, so I apologize if these takes turn out to be lukewarm or obvious in hindsight, but I need to throw this out there or I'm gonna explode.
I wanna talk about Flowery.
Everyone fucking hates Flowery. Why?
Everyone is comparing his reveal to Tenna's, but those circumstances could not be more different in terms of narrative. Tenna is, from the jump, supposed to be light-hearted and fun. He is the personification of the Fun Gang letting loose and having a good time. This is what makes his eventual reveal that he's working with the Knight into an actual betrayal. If we didn't trust Tenna, that moment wouldn't work.
With Flowery, the vibes are rancid from the moment he's revealed. He's charming and charismatic, but something is off. Not to mention that Ralsei absolutely despises him.
So, why make Flowery unlikable? What's the point?
Well, the point is that Flowery is the exact opposite of Tenna.
With Tenna, we like him, but he's wrong.
With Flowery, we hate him, but he's right.
Everything that Flowery does to Asgore is an exact mirror to what Ralsei did with Kris and Susie at the beginning of the game. In fact, the entire chapter is a complete mirror of Chapter 1's dark world!
Flowery gives Asgore a home, gives him friends, tells him that he's special. And yet, we spend the entire chapter trying to get Asgore out of that situation, with the understanding that it's dangerous.
But what about it is dangerous? The denial of reality? Because Susie is now living in a dark world. The exact thing that Asgore gave an entire heartwarming speech about not doing.
When Flowery tells us that we could close Castle Town instead of his dark world and we would be no closer to the Roaring, we hate him because he's right. When he says that all the flowers want is to live and a chance to make Asgore as happy as he's made them, we hate him because he's right.
And, at the end of the chapter, he tries to defeat us with the power of friendship. The other flowers never turn on him. He uses a mercy attack against us, and Kris responds by hitting him with a sword.
Y'all, were supposed to hate Flowery. And we're supposed to feel uncomfortable about why we do.
THIS THIS ALL OF THIS!!!! God he’s such a fascinating character.
fallen humans (in light of recent events)
I love that justice is a cowboy because it fits in with undertale yellow
I think it’s the other way around. Undertale Yellow made Clover a cowboy because the Justice soul has a cowboy hat and a pop gun in Undertale.
Whilst other authors have been busy writing "morally complicated antagonists", Toby Fox hits you in the face with an antagonist that is straight up the good guy. he's not even technically villainous he's deadass the hero in this story, and that makes him compelling as hell
DELTARUNE SPOILERS AHEAD!!!!
Obsessed with the Seven Flowers and I was possessed by the need to make this.
Also Flowery gets his own because he's built different, with a bonus Pink cameo.
Happy Deltarune Tomorrow to those who celebrate!
The fact that Rose says "my Pearl" to Pearl... A lot of people wonder, "oh, she belonged to Rose". No one calls their Pearl "my Pearl", people only say that to their superiors. So there's actually a lot more going on in that scene.
—Rebecca Sugar, The Truth About Rose Quartz
oh my GOD how did I never notice this... the implications of servitude and devotion that are carried by the way that homeworld gems address their superiors ("my diamond") being reversed when rose addresses pearl as "my pearl"... it's not ownership, it's acknowledging the importance and the value of pearl in her life in a way that is extremely emotionally weighted for each of them, as a pearl (the lowest class) and a diamond (the highest), respectively... i need to sit down ;u;
It’s not actually hard to explain why I gravitate towards characters who’ve been horrifically abused.
People don’t write characters to be as fucked up as me without extreme trauma. Unfortunately I lost the genetic lottery, and have accumulated enough minor trauma to create similar symptoms.
Hey! If you’re enjoying my content here, I’d really appreciate it if you supported me! I love what I do and seeing that other people like my stuff really keeps me going!

Can I just say the pure open endedness of wtf happens with Buddy post-Junior Year is amazing and commonly eats my brain? Cause like, they just fucking run off, and my brain has a million thoughts about it.
Like, we don’t know anything about Bakarath, as a god, for sure, except the fact that they’re were made by Buddy — which, knowing what we know about how Spyre treats cleric-specific-made gods (*cough cough* YES! and YES? *cough cough*) very much makes anything about them reliant on how Buddy, as a cleric, navigates his faith post- getting backstabbed by his teammates, abandoned by his (grand)parents (we know literally nothing of his actual parents and the shape of that absence makes me suspect they aren’t around and that Bobby and Pamela might’ve filled that role) and leaving the church of Helio (and the influence of the church of Sol), so like, complete wildcard as to what that god’s deal is gonna be (other than the fact that it’s got something to do with rage and Buddy clearly has a lot of that built up in his system).
But like, fucking, Kalina and Buddy Dawn? What a fucking dynamic!
Kalina, who’s this semi-omniscient familiar whose been around for thousands of years, who’s spent all that time serving one goddex in all her forms, only to get kicked out because the wife and cleric of said goddex dislike her (yes, I am biased towards Kalina in this, fight me in the comments), and then get attached to this 17 year old guy who’s clearly been pretty sheltered, knows very little outside of what his ideologically insular community has told him, who also got fucked over after giving his all to people who, in the end, didn’t care enough to stay or wonder where he was when the fight was done.
Like they must develop the most confusing mesh of dynamics in the world — an all-wise mentor and her mentee; some teenager and the physical manifestation of the worst embodiments of paranoia and magic that imprinted on him; two devotees to a god that hasn’t given them reason to leave/ left them; two polar opposite partners in crime who get up to wild shit while just out exploring the world; a creature that exists and is only tethered to the material plane via the will and belief of some guy she picked out in a rush — all of this, and more, simultaneously should be applicable to them and I think that’s beautiful.
